Current CLPT snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $18.07, ATM IV 104.60%, IV rank 16.16%, expected move 29.99%. The iron condor on CLPT below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 17-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on CLPT specifically: CLPT IV at 104.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CLPT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 29.99% (roughly $5.42 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CLPT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CLPT should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.07 per share and to the trader's directional view on CLPT stock.
CLPT iron condor setup
The CLPT iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CLPT near $18.07, the first option leg uses a $18.97 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CLPT chain at a 17-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 CLPT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CLPT thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CLPT extends from approximately $12.65 on the downside to $23.49 on the upside. A CLPT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CLPT stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current CLPT IV rank near 16.16% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on CLPT at 104.60%. As a Healthcare name, CLPT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CLPT-specific events.
CLPT iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. CLPT positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CLPT alongside the broader basket even when CLPT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CLPT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CLPT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CLPT chain quotes before placing a trade.
